you want someone who will see your favorite flower and will give it to you, without even thinking about it. you want someone who will remember all the little details about you, the things so seemingly unimportant but that matter more than you thought they did. you want someone who will still be there, thirty years down the line, holding your hand while the two of you do two separate things. you want the intimacy of being known by someone who makes you feel safe. you don't want expensive dinners or grand proposals. you want someone who will love you consistently.
Celebrating pride month by marrying Olivier Mira Armstrong
General Raven: Have you ever been with a man?
Olivier Mira Armstrong: The only thing I’ve ever been with a man is annoyed.

Havoc: I have no idea what girls like.
Olivier Mira Armstrong: Swords.
Havoc: This makes everything a lot easier.
Happy FMA Day to the Anime that irreversibly changed my life
Olivier Mira Armstrong: Ah, Elric, good. I need one minute of your time.
Edward: I’ll give you two because you scare me.
It's very hard to write a character who in most of the series is either silent, intelligent, or downright rude.
(My opinion is mine alone, you can choose to agree or disagree. Everyone's perception of a character is perfectly valid.)
Something I see a lot when people write Olivier is the fact they tend to pay no mind to the regal, intense elegance she seems to carry everywhere; it's replaced with this sudden burst of anger and 'masculine' energy and.. somewhat basic-anime-tsundere-ish vibes that end with a lot of uninteresting threats. (Instead of making her intimidating with wide vocabulary and nonchalant, perhaps grumpy nature.. she seems funny, her demeanor hard to take seriously because she is perpetually stuck using insults and threats to get her way.) She is very loud, a woman-child at some points. I don't like that.
I think of her as a woman who's prone to outbursts, but she doesn't just blow up at any new recruit or minor inconvenience. (Seen as how she handled Raven compared to her brother. She was always controlled, always calculating- and there was constantly a plan B.. going as far as to pretend to be a flirt, to be easy in order to get her way. With Alex, Olivier just threw him around for a while, insulted him for a lil yet her reasoning for lashing out would later help the squadron make camp and prepare for later. You get what I'm sayin'?) It's easier to respect and fear a person who's in control of their emotions and reactions, instead of someone who solely relies on threats and violence. (These two become a usual and boring, sometimes even annoying for the people who NEED to rely on you always have to deal with you. Controlled energy followed by the intelligent nature of a leader is so much scarier, it's worth being scared of. )
One of the earliest depictions of headcanons I personally dislike is Olivier hating dresses, skirts, pink etc etc.
It feels like we're just pushing her deeper into the 'girlboss' trope, you know?
Strong female characters don't need to be against stereotypically feminine things in order to have substance as a powerful leader, or as someone who defies gender norms as a whole.
I keep being so persistent with this everywhere-- but it's the truth. Olivier's way of sitting, her first name, her tone of voice, her intelligence; this doesn't make her any less of a woman, this doesn't mean her affiliation with femininity has to be tainted or discarded. She holds her beauty, her looks and gender as a mark of her pride and never runs from it. She embraces it, she's a symbol of how the mold of strength doesn't need to be made by a man, or by someone with unrealistic feats of physical strength.
all of this and then some!
i know i’ve touched on these things in some of my previous posts and ramblings and what not about olivier but she was a very complex, complicated character that i think people often try to simplify because she seems so confusing. she is quite machiavellian in her ways. although she states her views on prejudice and how ridiculous she finds it, she also clearly understands the implications of them: how race, ethnicity, gender, class, everything can and often is viewed/judged by others. this is why she develops her own opinions based on her own experiences with others and doesn’t believe in blindly following people- because she knows how they are and how they work. she knows how others, both subordinates and superiors, view her and each other. choosing a ishvalan officer (and clearly so) as her right hand in such a highly visible position was no accident nor just some petty move to piss people off (because how would that be beneficial in the long run to either of them?) most people could not find themselves in her position without a deep understanding of how the peoples and systems around them work and manipulating those systems to their own benefit. an unthinking, violent woman-child could not come as far as she has.

asoiaf : olivier, the only woman to ever man the wall and one of the fiercest but most inspiring lord commanders to ever exist, with her direwolf frost
twilight : olivier, the reticent vamp that was turned by a n*zi on some superior race bullshit but she reverse uno’d his ass & now just vibes in the subartic with her wolf mountain kami bestie frost
modern : olivier, the infamous ceo of her family’s long standing corporation that everyone is terrified of and some question if she is human looking very out of place at the park with a little fluff bounding around her joyfully
@farginen sent: casually hands the general a hayate puppy.
there is absolutely no better way to describe the major general’s reaction than that one b99 meme and i think we all know which one ...
